History, conditions & layout

History

A purpose-built island venue that has been the season finale and—after reprofiling—sought better racing with simpler corners and longer flat-out. Famous for day-to-night and twilight finales in recent years.

Typical conditions

Warm and dry; coastal humidity. Evening and twilight can cool the track; wind across the water affects braking zones; evolution from dusty to fast is typical across practice.

Track layout & design

Mix of 90s, a marina section, and long straights; generally medium-speed with a few heavy braking events. A technical compromise between cooling and aero for the conditions.
